I’ll be checking that out in January.
Bought the book, but didn’t get to far yet. I have a habit of getting busy and leaving books unread or unfinished.
The beginning was extremely compelling and sobering. I need to get back to it.
Too bad they couldn’t find an actor to play him.
Oh, SO cool!
Did not know Wahlberg was in this...
Will def go see this, fer sure....
I love Wahlberg in “Shooter”
Especially the final scenes when he got into it with John McCain.
May or may not go see it (nothing against the military, but I have some animosity to “brotherhood” movies for the time being for personal reasons).
However, I’m familiar with the battle it’s based on and I’d just like to point out the fact that, as heroic as our soldiers were in it, it probably would’ve never happened if our ROEs weren’t based on the idea of our soldiers being expendable for the sake of civilians. Remember that when you’re watching this movie.
Putting it bluntly, in the name of protecting A SINGLE afghan civilian who immediately ran to inform the terrorists of the SEALs, we lost numerous fine young men, numerous pieces of advanced equipment, gave the very man the SEALs were sent to eliminate a propaganda victory, and the Taliban reoccupied the area three weeks later.
All of that, for one civilian who wasn’t a civilian.
